-
Welcome Barbara, I'm just a little north of you in Benicia, CA. Welcome to https://t.co/PstGdT1eV5
-
-
Hi and I'm Barbara from Oakland, CA Happy New Year!
-
-
Q1: If you could create a new law about education, what would it be?
-
Funny you should mention intention. My husband and I are always talking about intention and commitment.
-
-
No I wouldn't even eat them with a goat! - Moxy Früvos
-
A1 no tests and no grades
-
Tonight's topic is going to be a bit fun, creative, insightful and introspective. It's titled: "If you could..."
-
-
A new law. Wow Good one Start with confining to the beach!
-
A1: Standardization is extinct. Customized education plans based on student strengths/weaknesses.
-
A1: only 1?! Soft skills must be part of the curriculum
-
-
-
A1 Keep the politicians out, let only educators & advocates for children in.
-
A1) No rinse & repeat lesson planning, no teaching to test, no textbook driven Q&A, I can go on & on
-
A1a new law: Ts not teach academics at least 1st 2 weeks & have to build culture, trust, respect, community & get to know Ss
-
A1: New law for education: If it kills curiosity and love of learning, stop doing it!
-
A1 Law, Schmaw.If I were queen, I would do away with GenEd & SpEd distinctions IEPs for all. Smallish classroomsOne on one
-
I actually used this with one of my students today. Surprised how much I remembered! Good evening !
-
-
-
A1: French for all; no exemptions for any reason. Make French a language that is as important as RR'R and not à la carte.
-
-
-
How about a law banning memorizing the times tables. And requiring playtime and recess in excess of 90 minutes a day
-
When will you be running for office?? ;)
-
A1: All Middle@schools should offer meditation, yoga, chess, and dramatic arts as part of the curriculum!
-
Jeremy, parent from CT.
A1) My new law education law would have the strong voices of Ps of students of color & disabilities.
-
A1: less admin in the class and more collaborative learning.
-
A1 I propose to ratify the Constitution w/ an amendment that all Ss are required to stay in school & get a HS diploma 😜
-
A1 Tempted to mandate that schools meaningfully include students in key decisions, but since you can't force buy-in...
-
Would love to know what the Ss said too! Hi Tom!
-
Teachers work in the city or town in which they live
-
Wish that was a law then I would know French!!! My true desire!
-
Meant to say, a lot of one on one attention.
-
A1 like making new laws so: Ss have to be part of design of what they learn, have a voice in learning, personalize learning
-
A1: No content taught/assessed that can be looked up in 2 seconds online. Creative problem solving/collaboration for all.
-
-
Great books stay w/ us forever
-
A1: Schools embed time to collab into schedule.
-
-
Not gonna run for office. Can't make me.
-
A1 Focus on the process of learning, not the content
-
we can work on yours yet...it's not hard.
-
A1: Mandatory requirement of the arts K-12.
-
-
A1 Could you mandate that practice that flies in the face of supported research should be phased out carefully?
-
You're missing the point, one does not run to be queen. One simply is.
-
Yes. It should exist already and it's terribly unfortunate that it doesn't.
-
Another thought, "If I could, would I?---Press that student thinking ---BTW Hi Tom!
-
After of course fully ensuring that the education they receive is relevant, purposeful and freely chosen!
-
I am lucky, that's how I instruct now.
-
Interesting...here is CA it is often a matter of economics.
-
A1cannot teach anything that's "Googleable" - encourage creativity, innovation & how to choose appropriate resources
-
And fully remunerated and valued
-
I am all for Student Voice!!!
-
But you do have a point we need politicians who get it.
-
-
A1) My law would ensure accountability to all kids & would make us confident our kids' education is better then what we had.
-
Same here in MA I would imagine.
-
-
A1 While we are at it all Ts get free storage units 😎
-
A1 What about this question? there was no such thing as school, what would teaching & learning look like?
-
How might that change things? Please expand...
-
... have all students identify their three personal "Plugged In" resources to have someone supportive available
-
...or a princess... ;) (That's what "Sara" actually means in Hebrew...) ;)
-
A1 New law: make it so kids work harder than teachers. Make it so learning is more important than teaching.
-
Ha! One A1 I considered: "This shall be the last education law ever passed by politicians."
-
All of them? Please expand...
-
Happy NewYr! A1. Law: S's are to be guided to create self-directed learning experiences from the topics/content presented
-
I do have to wonder if mandated education is good for everyone.
-
No child left hungry, neglected, unloved and intellectually, socially and emotionally unengaged.
-
Faige from Los Angeles joining late :(
-
...this would be a great topic for a future ! Thanks!!! ;)
-
Yes, unschooling for all. :-)
-
I love the idea, but could never afford to live (thus teach) in the town in which I grew up.
-
Crystal from seattle just joining in
-
Great to see you, Faige! Hope you had fun with the grandkids!!! (How can you not?!?!)
-
Really? Didn't know that. Still would rather be queen.
-
Hi Angelo! Glad you jumped in. All about building environments that encourage self-directed learners https://t.co/ZQuKPQV4pv
-
-
Happy NewYr! A1. Law: S's are to be guided to create self-directed learning experiences from the topics/content presented
-
-
-
Every woman should own a tiara. Tap into their inner queen. "be the leading lady, not the BF."
-
Would we allow ? How might we support the citizenry?
-
Question 2 for around the corner...
-
-
Sometimes I think the degree of student autonomy is a major factor in that discussion.
-
This is what is about. https://t.co/ASAK1kV7mb
-
-
No child left hungry, neglected, unloved and intellectually, socially and emotionally unengaged.
-
Yes yes yes isn't it about our children's future not our past - this is so right on https://t.co/QkRr3T6SOQ
-
-
No child left hungry, neglected, unloved and intellectually, socially and emotionally unengaged.
-
Prof. Susan joining. Will be double-duty tonight here w IL edchat
Committed to all students' success K12 thru college/univ
-
not "mandate," but the nature of the law would focus on student-led learning.
-
Back in the day, students who didn't want to be in h.s. left. Discipline problems were less.
-
-
-
Yes they make worries disappear!
-
Good to see you, Christine!
-
right. A diploma is not an education.
-
Yes! Check out . I think it will be more neighbors pulling together to education.
-
-
Q2: If you could create a course for preservice teacher ed. what would it be?
-
Maybe we can finally get them to pass good education laws.
-
Hi Barbara! Better late than... and it is getting late here in NY. Couldn't miss out on 1st chat of year, !!
-
another A1 (with buy-in again assumed) Schools must work to be genuinely aware and supportive of full diversity of community
-
I think too many Ss today don't drop out--they feel "pushed out"
-
-
A1 Law: don't judge just let them explore and find joy in learning
-
Hmmm...loaded question. LOTS of possibilities!
-
Did they leave or mandated to the "alternative" school?
do those exist in the U.S.?
-
Glad you made it, Angelo!!!
-
I do know there are some great politicians out there who listen, understand. We need more!
-
-
A1: Mandating that parents truly have an equal voice & role in all education decisions re: their children.
-
A2: How to collaborate effectively and problem solve creatively with colleagues, parents, and students.
-
Good evening and just jumping in - happy new year!
-
A2 It would be a course titled, Parents are not the enemy. Finding common ground in educating everyone's children.
-
Happy New Year Sara. Glad I did!
-
A1 I really like that the UK now requires computer coding in each grade. Also fitness, service-learning, civics every wk/yr
-
Q2---The group is tonight! https://t.co/zj4fSon0bI
-
-
Q2: If you could create a course for preservice teacher ed. what would it be?
-
A2. Reflection & imagination course. What did you like about school? Not like? How can it be better? https://t.co/AYBOjV0zyd
-
-
Q2: If you could create a course for preservice teacher ed. what would it be?
-
Be in the trenches. Watch, listen ask questions. Learn from what you discover https://t.co/0T3qVHMqFv
-
-
Q2: If you could create a course for preservice teacher ed. what would it be?
-
-
Glad you are here, Paola! Do jump in!
-
that's denying them an education. Those students would pay the price for the system's failures.
-
A2 Preservice course: "put you in Ss shoes" in a learner-centered environment so you can experience what learning should be
-
A2: don't be afraid to learn with the kids, show excitement/passion, and listen with intent.
-
Welcome to you Paola! Glad to have you aboard! https://t.co/2MJzn40OGV
-
-
Good evening and just jumping in - happy new year!
-
Left. I still see kids who are forced to go on occasion. They pop up in charter schools.
-
A2: Building positive culture in classroom!
-
THe problem is $$ didn't follow the child.
-
A2: "connect first, teach second" Ss are more engaged if they respect Ts, thus earn respect 1st thru relationship building
-
A2: Course Title: Creating a student-driven classroom--pre-service t's struggle moving from direct instr. mode
-
-
A2: Individualized Learning Strategies for Gen & Sped! https://t.co/XIacWxaBx6

Q2: If you could create a course for preservice teacher ed. what would it be?
-
A2 how to remain true to your drive in an increasingly regulated & micromanaged classroom, "Creative Insubordination"
-
-
A2 Creating an oasis for parents. Assumptions are made that parents indifferent bc they work 2, 3 jobs or feel intimidated
-
A2:Creativity counts!A class that intros how to think out of the box,be engaging,make learning fun.
-
A2 Stealing answer and saying REFLECTION
-
A2 My pre-service course would incorporate real students' voices & training in social justice perspectives; ongoing growth.
-
GREAT!!!! Where do I sign up for that one?
-
-
A2: Parent communication esp. when children have special needs incl. challenges facing working parents.
-
THESE ARE GREAT ANSWERS!!!
-
A2 How to communicate with the admin :)
-
Maybe. I know a few successful biz owners who are h.s. drop outs. They learned passions.
-
A2 Preservice Ts need to see real examples of learner-centered environments - so plan visits & interviewing Ss and Ts
-
I was referencing Jonathan Kozal- Shame of the Nation. All Ss deserve a right to a quality Ed.
-
"Grade book Management and Organization". I'd highlight ways to stay on top of the book and avoid pitfalls.
-
A2 I think I would title the class - "Remember, we are all humans first." Then build units that focus on this point!
-
This should be the core of any cred. Program. Anything else is secondary. https://t.co/UznHmOK7gj
-
-
A2: "connect first, teach second" Ss are more engaged if they respect Ts, thus earn respect 1st thru relationship building
-
A2) Course Title "Ditch the Textbook, Let Ss Curiosity Lead Learning"
-
This is so logical to have as a course yet does anyone have this???
-
A2 Encourage conversations, bring in Ss, Ts, parents and talk the real talk about what teaching & learning should look like
-
we all live it if we don't follow the script, if we put S's at center is step 1,
-
Maybe we could invite some. got Senator King to dialogue with MiddleTalk community.
-
Laurie dropping in from BC Canada.
-
Some countries still require chess as part of the academic curriculum. Teaches discipline, focus. https://t.co/wgVdX657Tj
-
-
A1: All Middle@schools should offer meditation, yoga, chess, and dramatic arts as part of the curriculum!
-
-
Agree. Often observation hours are taken for granted. Also should be required to see a diverse range of classrooms
-
School should be mandated but needs to have different formats to meet Ss needs.
-
P.S. I just watched the Bobby Fisher movie!
-
A2 Build a preservice course with these topics: Community, Building Trust, Creativity, Voice, Choice, motivation, engagement
-
well, laws evolve because education does (presumably). There'll never be a "final" law.
-
Not that I've heard of. It's been a headache for me as a new T...One of my resolutions is to do better!
-
A2: ...and of course a course on the concept of resilience--for Ss AND teachers!
-
How about a course on minimizing time spent grading?
-
A2: Course title - "Teach the child not the content."
-
A2 Meeting the Needs of All Learners...a Reality Check (aka not everyone loves your subject as much as you)
-
A@ Digging deeply in what it means to be a child & how children grow and learn based on the best of our collective knowledge
-
I remember feeling the same way when I started teaching!
-
-
-
Love it! Let's start with https://t.co/07NSmjps9m
-
-
A2 Build a preservice course with these topics: Community, Building Trust, Creativity, Voice, Choice, motivation, engagement
-
A2. A course entitled, "It's about the student". Learning is their mission, and the profession is about insuring that occurs.
-
HNY We have chess after school and it is well attended.
-
A2 Most of us as Ts only know what we were taught or teach. We need to shake up preservice programs to bring in
-
My M.A.T. advisor was brilliant at demonstrating and inculcating a lifelong learning mindset.
-
-
You are so fortunate, Bill!
-
-
It's a Facebook group (former listserv) focusing on middle level education.
-
Love it! https://t.co/l0SZxk6tDB
-
-
A2. A course entitled, "It's about the student". Learning is their mission, and the profession is about insuring that occurs.
-
Moving right along to Q3--yet of course you can answer any previous question...
-
A2 Maybe look at Finlands preservice program, where new Ts go to lab school with Ss, have mentors, and ongoing support
-
Yup! He's now retired, but we stay in touch. He knows what his teaching meant to me. :-)
-
-
Q3: If you could research any topic in education, what would it be?
-
A2 we should have never removed CIVICS as a required class! Every high school grad should have to serve
-
So important especially with today's diverse learners. https://t.co/y7gJzzASC0
-
-
A2: Course title - "Teach the child not the content."
-
Oh. Sorry. I hate Facebook.
-
Glad to know I'm not alone! Educator solidarity!
-
I agree. Also should apply to PD in general. https://t.co/GNZFb9BuRF
-
-
A2 Most of us as Ts only know what we were taught or teach. We need to shake up preservice programs to bring in
-
Yes! Good reminder for all Sara! https://t.co/01m5yrBXfU
-
-
A2: ...and of course a course on the concept of resilience--for Ss AND teachers!
-
All for one and one for all!!!
-
sadly, we forget. And none of us know what it's like to be a child in 2016.
-
Yup - any pre-service program that doesn't live by the principles they teach is missing the mark.
-
-
A3 My dream: positive affects of games in education (Scrabble, checkers, cards, etc.)
-
A2resources 2b proactive rather than reactive-important 2 have mentor: "go-to" reliable/experience. person 4all needs.Collab
-
Mandated learning unlike unschooling means a narrow curriculum in many cases. That's the problem.
-
I have always been surprised there isn't more on child development in teacher ed.
-
A2 Have coached Ts in BTSA & new teacher program - had to follow same old - times are a-changing so higher ed has to change
-
-
-
Good idea for most but, a large number of new Ts at my school are recent grads. Already have gd relations!
-
A3 Very personal topic - what mindsets and approaches distinguish more successful girls schools from those less successful.
-
"If I could..." Tonight's Q3! https://t.co/JGES0gIgXW
-
-
Q3: If you could research any topic in education, what would it be?
-
I totally agree. There needs to be some big changes in teacher ed.
-
A3: Mistakes! How we respond to,learn from,deal with. How learners leverage mistakes to be successful. How to teach that...
-
So true Jodi need to open curriculum and encourage creativity https://t.co/1Gi0UANeal
-
-
Mandated learning unlike unschooling means a narrow curriculum in many cases. That's the problem.
-
A3: why educators lose touch with other life sectors. Teaching isn't the only profession. I am saddened by the entitlement.
-
-
A3:can't think of what to call it,but collaboration of teachers and building community and positivity as well as advocacy.
-
A3 How students learn best. What can I do to make it happen?
-
-
A3 my current research - curriculum and instructional design innovation - so much more to learn and do
-
I have a love-hate relationship w/Facebook; I've known some of these people for 16+ years & value the contact.
-
A3 I would love to research the brain and learning
-
When I went to school yes. Think it needs 2be reinstated to teach to the Whole Child
-
A3 impact of teacher leadership on student learning, engaged connected T's, little exists
-
A3 One topic might be tough. Researching process & so Ss take control of learning
-
A3) Brain based learning/how brain learns best...so fascinating
-
Great point! So many of our children are dealing with we could have not imagined. https://t.co/MlSxc7f1rk
-
-
sadly, we forget. And none of us know what it's like to be a child in 2016.
-
A3 I'd research how to involve community in education.
-
A3. The relationship between trust and learning.
-
A2) In CT we created a curriculum on working with/engaging families. Can provide link if interested. https://t.co/tiGYNmDkpy
-
-
A2: Parent communication esp. when children have special needs incl. challenges facing working parents.
-
Teacher education is playing "pin the tail" and in need of more than a makeover
-
A2 The Zen of Teaching: Not to be offended when kids are disrespectful. Teach them and model otherwise.
-
A3 Curiosity and creativity and how they are nurtured
-
I agree, Faige. I think we give a lot of lip service to this but don't always embrace it.
-
-
A3 Been researching meta-learning (meta-cognition) and what that means for all learners including us
-
Some girls schools inspire me, others appall me. All rolled together in research. Want to differentiate.
-
Agreed and would add the correlation between education/school, stress, parental support, and mental health.
-
a3 impact of student voice/choice in the efficacy of learning.
-
I think it would be beneficial to have in-service teachers facilitate methods courses.
-
A3 I'd research how to convince people that being different is not a problem.
-
I love all this brain stuff too!!!! ("stuff"-a very scientific word!)
-
A3 Toxic negativity, aka viral skepticism
-
-
-
Profs. often have been out of the classroom for a decade or more or have mostly admin experience.
-
A 1 An end to all standardized testing and the misuses of "measurement"
-
A3) What is the best way to integrate academic curriculum with social development
-
one my edd peers is actually developing ground theory about curiosity for her dissertation
-
Would love to see it Jeremy. Can you DM me?
-
Then provide the schools with the resources to support it https://t.co/IgF8WwmAWD
-
-
Agreed and would add the correlation between education/school, stress, parental support, and mental health.
-
If there is anyone out there trying to think of a thesis or dissertation question is the place to be tonight! ;)
-
Agree! So much potential there for pos. growth. Would love to foster community partners as culture.
-
. We need 2 ensure that preservice Ts r philosophically & practically prepared 2 teach a diverse grp of Ss
-
Yes, please share the link. https://t.co/x5eD3mHmfI
-
-
A2) In CT we created a curriculum on working with/engaging families. Can provide link if interested. https://t.co/tiGYNmDkpy
-
-
A2: Parent communication esp. when children have special needs incl. challenges facing working parents.
-
Perhaps it should be... what WE can do to make it happen?
-
-
you had me at metacognition. Wrote about it's importance in learning a while ago
-
Especially since we all are...including each and every student.
-
A3. My topic: What conditions and actions keep high levels of student engagement?
-
A3 Checking out Universal Design for Learning and how to understand how learners learn best https://t.co/pPRVczWF8B
-
A3 Checking out Universal Design for Learning and how to understand how learners learn best https://t.co/J7VCfqWjWz
-
Didn't get a chance to say hi yet. Hi Irene!
-
Laws govern little.
Humanity the ability to reign.
-
Too much division between "townies" and "gownies" in higher ed. Too much general disrespect for teachers.
-
A3: Hard to pick just one, but probably innovative strategies to differentiate instruction.
-
Hey Scott--and Bullwinkle and Rocky!
-
Yes! Entering the profession armed w cultural competence & understanding different students' lives. https://t.co/q1czdsP8iX
-
-
A2 My pre-service course would incorporate real students' voices & training in social justice perspectives; ongoing growth.
-
I can't believe I'm awake! (Sort of)
Jeremy, I'd love to see it, too!
-
-
So many of the world's problems could be solved with this one understanding https://t.co/1AYL8l5v3a
-
-
A3 I'd research how to convince people that being different is not a problem.
-
I'm really curious about the placement and duration of the academic calendar. Summer break's been tradition
-
Anyone else in suddenly want to read people's theses and dissertations past and future?!
-
-
-
A3- my Ed approach: EcLEctiC EdUCAtioN
-
A3. How a Parent-School partnership affects the learning that occurs for S's.
-
-
Yes...it's really time to revisit this!
-
A3 My current area: the interstices & changes
https://t.co/u2L7kU6TVs
Also S success transitions K12 to/thru univ/work.
-
A3: I'm researching and collecting data as I go in my implementation of PBL in my classroom. Kind of my pet proj. right now.
-
A3 neuroplasticity of the brain.
-
I love doing that! (Am I sick?)
-
Hi Sara.
Just had to do a quick 20 min run to pick up daugheter from work
Now my attention is back
-
-
-
-
-
Good Evening Sara and friends
-
Thanks for the support! ;)
-
. I was actually thinking a cohort to research and learn together. Sign me up!
-
you'd think the Rudolph story would do the trick but no. I teach 2nd & use it to show that
-
Huge area of need and focus needed. Transition to college and preparation.
-
The time is moving SO QUICKLY...here is Q4
-
My dad (in counseling psychology) is currently fascinated with this. Many implications for learning/counseling.
-
Wouldn't that be great?!? Seriously!!! We could start a new type of model...think about it...
-
My focus: and development - a phenomenological approach... https://t.co/z7nthOwemq
-
-
Anyone else in suddenly want to read people's theses and dissertations past and future?!
-
Listen more, talk less is always a good approach, but what students want isn't always what they need
-
-
The problem is Ss are always happy with the different kid that they know. But others ....
-
...and love the alliteration... ;)
-
Like that idea - research in 140 characters collaboratively - just imagine https://t.co/AutOMwql5M
-
-
. I was actually thinking a cohort to research and learn together. Sign me up!

-
I tell my kids, so what if you think differently, not everyone was meant to be the same.
-
In our district we have a year round elementary school. They break in Dec., April and August.
-
-
Okay Q4--here it comes...
-
Unless there will be a new law tomorrow about the school day starting later, I'm out. Thx!
-
-
